Walkthrough part 8

Walkthrough

During the course of this mission, you must protect the gate from falling. Start off by blasting EVERYTHING IN SIGHT! If there is an enemy, and it's moving, we see absolutely no reason whatsoever why it should not explode into thousands of pieces. If someone gets on your tail, use the C stick to do a quick turn around, or even try braking with the R trigger. Either way, you must turn around fairly soon due to save Slippy's backside from destruction. Krystal will follow suit soon after you save Slippy (or even while saving Slippy). She seems to get in trouble more than Slippy, which really says something.

Soon after you've saved Krystal, you will be forced to watch a nasty cut-scene which introduces you to the giant aparoid missile that's headed for the gate. Needless to say, now is the time to panic. You will be greeted by a line of missiles that appear as red blimps on the map, so head over to them as quickly as possible. Falco will take care of one of them. As for you, just use Blaster shots to destroy them. Dash towards the next row of missiles and blow away any regular enemies you see along the way. Take out this line of missiles with a bit more help from Wolf and his team of misfits.

Do not head for the next target, as it's a suicide mission. You will likely head towards it only for the large ship to appear and defeat you because you're ramming into it. Trust us, we know from experience. It's best to head away from it and use the C stick to turn around whilst charging a blast. Lay into the enemy ship from here to destroy it. Another will pop up on the radar soon enough, so get prepared and zoom towards it. Take it out with a nice charged blast with a few extra shots pumped into it for good measure. After destroying this second undercover missile, you will watch a cut-scene, and a mission update will occur.

You will need to step on the gas and head for the missile as fast as you possibly can. You must get in behind the missile and blast away at the rocket pack that's fueling it. After blowing it away, the missile will begin ascending space faster than before. You must now shoot it from the sides, where you can faintly spot the small opening to the purple insides of the machine. Finally, you must shoot the tip of the missile to destroy it before it hits the gate. Good job, team!
